Patients were phenotyped by their residual score in linear multiple regression with measured carotid plaque burden as the dependent variable and coronary risk factors were predictors. The residual score essentially represents the distance off the regression line of predicted plaque. They were
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that intraoperative aesthetic management influences outcomes. (5). Besides this the occurrence of low MAP, low minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) and low bispectral index (BIS) increased hospital stay and mortality.
Conventional intraoperative monitoring can
